What is a Training Essay?
A training essay is a documented experience for training. A student must have 45 hours of documented training for each credit she attempts to earn through a training essay. An example of this would be a student having 135 hours of training in one discipline (subject matter).
Professional Training, Licenses, and Certifications
Bay Path recognizes the workplace learning that receives an evaluation by the American Council on Education (ACE). Students can earn credit by writing a Training Essay that is typically 2 to 4 pages in length. Students can earn one credit for every 45 hours of documented training. Bay Path accepts ACE credit for military service. In addition, and on a case-by-case basis, the institution will consider credit recommendations for experiences other than military service.
If you have taken any of the formal courses or examinations evaluated by this organization, Bay Path will accept the credit recommendations with the submission of an ACE credit transcript. Students should send ACE transcripts to the Associate Registrar for The American Women’s College at Bay Path University. Credits receive approval and denial according to the established practices of that office. NOTE: A maximum of 12 credits can transfer into a Bay Path degree program once a student matriculates.
Bay Path advises that students pursuing ACE credits should initiate this process prior to matriculation so that established transfer limits do not affect the acceptance of these credits. The following websites help students connect to ACE and identify possible ACE-approved training.
